Magnetic brain stimulation for Parkinson's disease pain
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests a special type of magnetic brain stimulation (called TMS) to see if it can help with Parkinson's disease and the pain that often comes with it. You must have had Parkinson's for at least 3 years, have frequent pain, and be on stable medications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 80 years old.
- You have had Parkinson's disease for at least 3 years and can still walk on your own (Hoehn & Yahr stage less than 4).
- You have Parkinson's-related pain that happens at least 3 times a week and has lasted for 3 months or more.
- Your Parkinson's medications have been the same dose for at least 2 weeks and will stay the same during the study.
- You do not have metal implants, a pacemaker, epilepsy, or other conditions that would make MRI or TMS unsafe.
- You are willing to undergo MRI and TMS treatments.

This trial tests a faster type of brain stimulation (AiTBS) for people with nerve pain. If you have had nerve pain for at least three months and it is moderately severe, this non-invasive treatment might help reduce your pain.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (using electrical currents applied through the scalp) aimed at the subthalamic nucleus—a brain region involved in movement control—to help reduce both movement-related symptoms (like tremor and stiffness) and non-movement symptoms (like mood and sleep problems) in people with Parkinson's disease.
This trial tests a precise form of brain stimulation (called TMS) to see if it can improve movement problems like stiffness, slowness, or tremors in people with Parkinson's disease. Participants must have a stable medication routine and no metal implants or brain surgery history.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) for people with Parkinson's disease. It uses magnetic pulses to gently stimulate parts of the brain that control movement, and may help improve motor symptoms like stiffness or slowness.
This study tests whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can help people with Parkinson's disease. You will receive rTMS and be evaluated for changes in movement and thinking.
This study tests whether customized transcranial magnetic stimulation (a non-invasive technique that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate brain activity) can help improve symptoms in people with Parkinson's disease, multiple system atrophy, or progressive supranuclear palsy. The treatment is tailored to each person's brain activity patterns.
